python: Fix PyEvent reference counting bug
The current implementation of reference counting for PyEvents only
partially works. The native object is currently kept alive while it is
in the event queue. However, if the Python object goes out of scope,
the Python side of this object is garbage collected which leaves a
"dangling" native object. This results in confusing error messages
where PyBind is unable to find the Python implementation of an event
when it is triggered.
Implement reference counting using the generalized reference counting
API instead.
